Police in Samastipur, Bihar, have detained a suspect linked to the recent Canara Bank robbery in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, as part of an ongoing investigation.
The Special Task Force (STF) of Jharkhand, in coordination with Bihar police, has apprehended a man from Boria village in Samastipur district. He is alleged to have been involved in the large‑scale robbery of Canara Bank in Jamshedpur that resulted in the theft of cash and gold worth several crores.
Investigators say the suspect was identified through forensic leads and surveillance footage that traced movements between the two states. After a thorough search, Bihar authorities detained him on Friday, confirming his connection to the Jamshedpur heist.
The arrest marks a significant development in a case that has drawn attention from both state governments. Officials have not disclosed the suspect's name or the exact amount recovered, but they indicated that further interrogations could lead to additional arrests and the recovery of stolen assets.
Both Jharkhand and Bihar police have pledged to continue joint operations to dismantle the criminal network behind the robbery. The investigation remains active, with authorities urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
The incident underscores the challenges of cross‑border criminal activities in eastern India and highlights the importance of inter‑state cooperation in tackling organized crime.
